    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 1/4           cups  lukewarm water
    2          teaspoons  sugar
    1         tablespoon  active dry yeast
    1 3/4           cups  whole-wheat flour -- preferably white-whole 
wheat (see Shopping Tip)
    1 3/4           cups  all-purpose flour -- plus more for dusting 
(1 3/4 to 2)
    4        tablespoons  extra-virgin olive oil -- divided
    1 1/2      teaspoons  coarse salt -- divided

Stir water and sugar in a large bowl until the sugar is dissolved. 
Add yeast and let stand for 10 minutes; it should bubble (if it 
doesn't, throw it out and start over with fresh yeast).

Add whole-wheat flour, 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons 
oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix with a wooden spoon and, eventually, 
your hands until combined. Add up to 1/4 cup more all-purpose flour 
if the dough seems sticky.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until it 
is smooth and elastic, at least 5 minutes.

Lightly oil a clean large bowl. Gather the dough into a ball; place 
it in the bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and 
set aside in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 
375F. Coat 2 large baking sheets with cooking spray.

Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces. Stretch and roll each piece to 
about 24" long and approximately 3/8" thick. Cut each piece in half 
to make 2 dozen 12" long breadsticks. Place about 1/2" apart on the 
prepared baking sheets. Brush both sides of the breadsticks with the 
remaining 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Bake the breadsticks for 15 minutes. Gently turn each breadstick 
over. Continue baking until crisp and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes more.

Tips & Notes

Make Ahead Tip : Tightly wrap cooled breadsticks in plastic wrap and 
keep for up to 5 days.
